I wonder what life will be for women in America if they are banned from wearing trousers – jeans, capris, slack, ect, in public. I don’t have any problem with women in trousers, but it appears several people do in Nigeria…people in positions of power and authority. How long will the women league keep their silence?

A friend of mine got married a few years ago, and himself and wife decided not to have a child until they had both finished their post graduate degrees.
A year into the marriage, my friend’s mother brought a girl to their house (they were still trying to get visas to go to the West for said education). Her reason: since K (his wife) was infertile then it is the duty of the man’s mother to get a fertile girl for him.
What is my point?
Our women will remain silent because even if a few try to speak out, the ‘moral’ majority would hush them up.

Changes are effected never by the majority…but by a handful of focused and adamant few.

‘Changes are effected never by the majority…but by a handful of focused and adamant few.’ Imnakoya, that was exactly what the communists thought – the peasants don’t have a class consciousness, but we have thought on their behalf and know what they need.

Project Alert on Violence Against Women Lagos, condemn the incessant arrest and manhandling of women by the police on the grounds of indecent dressing. This is a breach on the fundamental human rights of innocent women who went about their business lawfully.
The Police as a state actor, should protect lives and properties of the citizery and not to go about with impunity assaulting women.
We call for a zero tolerance to all forms of violence agsinst women both in the public and private spere.
